FairyTale of New York time.

Limited time today and knew i wouldn't make the HuRTS session at lunch so i managed to squeeze my own session in early this morning at Centennial Park. Decided to do 8 x 1k reps with a 60 second recovery between each rep.With doing 8 i was aiming to slow them all down a little and try to replicate my 10ks race pace (although i am nowhere near it at the moment ) of 35 mins.
Started out and knew straight away it was going to be tougher then i imagined as i hit the line in 3.33 for the first and 3.29 on the return and already had a good sweat on:)
Settled a little after that and just concentrated on getting through each rep. Was working hard to maintain the pace on the last few but happy to get the 8 done and kept the times all honest.
Reps were:
3.33, 3.29, 3.29, 3.27, 3.28, 3.28, 3.31, 3.29
Stuffed at the end and wondered how the hell i ever managed to run sub 35 mins last year - think i am miles off it at the moment (and wondering if it will ever return?)

Was out last night at a concert at the Hordern, and no i didn't go with Enda and Kanser to see boy bad 'One Direction' Although i did see Enda's twin brother many of you didn't know he had , good old Shane MacGowan and his Pogues were in town. Last time i saw them was 22 years ago at Selina's (Coogee Bay Hotel) and we waited ALL night for him to come on only for him to slur his way through one song then get carried off 'Pi$$ed :)
Well last night he was a disgrace....... Came on hammered again, with bottle in one hand fag in the other and forgot the words to one song , and left the stage about 4 times?????????
Anyway great night overall, as the songs stand the test of time and the rest of the band carry it through, All the old favorites were out, Dirty ol Town, Sally Mac Lenanne, as the best Fairytale of New York, Have a listen if you don't know the song

That was from 1988 - man this guy should have been dead 25 years ago.
Can you spot the difference in the TWINS below????

Shane And Enda...... Who is Who??????????


Will take an easy day tomorrow before heading to Canberra on Saturday, although had Kanser texting all afternoon , as he has got himself a dinner date with Dave Criniti on Sat evening , Even talking himself up on the race and agreed to give 'Struggling Timmy' (his words) 2.20 start over the half????
I don't think its enough , but I'll take the bet:)

Cheers
